Google Pixel 9 Series: Tensor G4 Chipset Revealed - Benchmark Scores and Performance Expectations

The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series, set to be released later this year, has been the subject of much anticipation and leaks in recent weeks. According to various sources, including benchmark scores and configuration details, the Tensor G4 chipset will power all three models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. This marks a shift from Samsung to TSMC as Google's chip provider for the upcoming Pixel 10 series in 2025.

The Tensor G4 chipset is expected to have an octa-core configuration, consisting of one Cortex-X4 core with a clock speed of 3.1 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores at 1.95 GHz.

AnTuTu benchmark scores for each Pixel 9 model have been revealed: Google Pixel 9 - 1,071,616 points, Google Pixel 9 Pro - 1,148,452 points, and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - 1,176,410 points. These scores represent a modest improvement over the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8 series.

It is important to note that these benchmark scores are not final and may change before the official launch of the devices. Additionally, Google could make some adjustments to optimize performance before releasing the Pixel 9 series this fall.

Google's decision to switch from Samsung to TSMC for its chip provider might be a strategic move, as TSMC is known for producing more powerful and energy-efficient chips compared to Samsung Foundry. This could potentially lead to better performance and longer battery life in the Pixel 9 series.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Google Pixel 9 series as we approach its official launch.

Google Pixel 9's Tensor G4 chipset gets detailed in an extensive leak

  • Unique Points
    • Google is expected to switch from Samsung to TSMC as its chip provider for the Pixel 10 series next year
    • The Tensor G4 chipset will power all three Pixel 9 models later this fall
    • AnTuTu benchmark scores for each Pixel 9 model have been revealed: Google Pixel 9 - 1,071,616, Google Pixel 9 Pro - 1,148,452, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - 1,176,410

    • Google could make the switch from Samsung to TSMC for the Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 chip
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (80%)
    The article provides AnTuTu benchmark scores for the Google Pixel 9 series and compares them to the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8 series. While this information is relevant, it also contains some deceptive practices. The author states that 'These benchmark results also reveal the configuration of the 8-core Tensor G4 chipset,' implying that they have exclusive knowledge of the chipset's configuration when in fact, this information was obtained from a leak and publicly available. Additionally, the author makes editorializing statements such as 'While these numbers are higher than the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8’s score of around 900,000, it’s not a big upgrade by any means.' This statement is an opinion and not a fact. Lastly, there is selective reporting as the author only reports details that support their position about the lack of significant upgrades in the Tensor G4 chipset.
    • These benchmark results also reveal the configuration of the 8-core Tensor G4 chipset, which will reportedly comprise one Cortex-X4 core with a clock speed of 3.1 GHz, backed by three Cortex-A720 (2.6 GHz) and four Cortex-A520 (1.95 GHz) cores.
    • While these numbers are higher than the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8’s score of around 900,000, it’s not a big upgrade by any means.
    • The leak also highlights the AnTuTu Benchmark scores for all three Pixel 9 phones, giving us an early idea about its performance, particularly in comparison to the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8 series.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some instances of hyperbole and appeals to authority, but no formal or blatant logical fallacies are present. The author uses phrases like 'radical shakeup', 'biggest mobile shakeup since Tensor', and 'early days for the Pixel 9 trio' to create a sense of excitement or importance around the upcoming Google Pixel 9 devices. Additionally, the author references a news site (Rozetked) as their source for the AnTuTu benchmark scores and performance details of the Tensor G4 chipset. While this is not inherently problematic, it does constitute an appeal to authority.
